11. Will that be an ultimate solution?
a. Pat Robertson actually has had Sudan on his radar for many years:

You may be suspicious of Robertson's motives. I am. And you may wonder, as I do, what effect his efforts have had, and whether it's all been for the good. The abolitionist movement, though, took help where it could, and by and large has not bought into the anti-Islam Crusade that Robertson and company seem bent on promoting.

b. Many of the people being killed in Darfur are Muslims. They are being targetted because of their race or ethnic identity. "You get this because you are black," as was quoted in the Independent story.


More about Black Muslim victims of ethnic cleansing:

Obviously religion has been an important aspect of the conflict, and if not for the religious conflict, quite possibly these militias wouldn't exist and peace would have been achieved. But who knows for sure?
